Welcome to Growth Resources

The resources accessible from this page are shared by the Growth Resources Institute to help you continue to develop individual and organizational performance by deepening your understanding of the adaptive profiles and how they relate to other knowledge in our field.

The content is more theoretical and technical than practical. Using GRI's adaptive profiles and methods requires learning that starts with understanding your own profile and what you can do with it, most often in a business context with a leadership role. The experience provided by GRI's masterclass is central to learning and applying adaptive profiles in their many applications.

Like learning a new instrument, sport, or cooking, and even more so when learning about people, including their relationships and organizations, you'll need a minimum of time to practice in real situations and with people you think you already know well.

More than just learning, GRI offers you the opportunity to relearn much about people that seems immediate, obvious, but indeed will challenge your perceptions, intuition, and knowledge you already built and trust. Contact Growth Resources or one of its affiliates if you would like to learn GRI tools and methods.
